An emerging beer style roughly defined as a beer with IPA-level hopping, relatively high alcohol and a distinct toasty dark malt character. Typically lacks the roastiness and body of a strong stout and is hoppier than a strong porter. Expressive dry-hopping is common. Also called India Dark Ale, India Black Ale, Cascadian Dark Ale, Dark IPA and sometimes India Brown Ale. A modern spin on this classic style that has gained extreme popularity in the US where the consumer often seeks out hop forward beers with depth and character. How could Devil’s Peak not give it a bash?

On tap at The Globe. Slightly brown black pour with thin tan head. Aroma is wet dank hops with some burnt coffee grounds. Taste follows - nice hoppiness but some musty dankness reminiscent of some English Black IPA’s I’ve tried. Not bad but wouldn’t get again.
